The WJ IV is comming! Stay tunned for new updates, insights, answers to questions, etc.

If you have wondered why I have not posted as much creative and original content at my blog the past 5+ years, it has been due to our work to revise and re-standardize the WJ III battery. We are rounding the final corner and Riverside Publishing has officially launched the WJ IV web page, where pre-orders, at a special discount, are being currently being taken.

This is a blatant self-promotional post. I am a coauthor of the WJ III and WJ IV and thus have a financial interest in its sales (see conflict of interest disclosure statement; which needs to be updated to reflect the WJ IV).

I am very proud to have worked on this project and believe that those who conduct psychological and educational assessments will be pleased with many of the revisions, additions, and new features. You can learn more at the Riverside WJ IV web page link above.

In the not so distant future I will be making many WJ IV-related blog posts to explain the changes, answer questions posted on listservs, and also provide insights based on yet-to-be published analyses of the norm data and special studies.
